When in Rome...

...Stab people?
Lately I really got into the HBO tv series of Rome. It's a pretty fun series. The boxsets are ungodly expensive, but I managed to find them at the decent price (39$ instead of 80$). I bought them mostly for Link, since it's one of his favorites series. And he was feeling pretty down. But I gotta say, i'm loving it myself. It's a bit more adult then most series I watch (Isa likes things for the kiddies), but it's got pretty tight storytelling. I wonder how authentic this series is. Historically, I can see where they took a few liberties. But i'm wondering how accurate is their portrayal of everyday life. It looks pretty researched.
I remember back when I was a kid I was obsessed by the Greek and Roman Hellenistic societies. Because of "Asterix" and Greek myths of course.
I other mythological news, I also watched the "Percy Jackson and the Olympians - The lighting Thieft" movie. I was... Disappointed. Though amused that actors from the Rome tv series appeared in that movie (what a coincidence!) and also Uma Thurman, the movie was kinda meh. The acting wasn't too great. I liked the book a lot better. My imagination made nicer 3d renders. XD
I want to go back into drawing Slayers fanart. My whole friend list is talking about Lina and Gourry and I want to draaaaw them.
